Any Vintage Wheel guys out there?

[ORIGLS6]

Bill/Tom/Erik/Joe,

I did look through the Vintage Wheel thread and thought maybe it was a Fenton. Could also be the M/T Duke; that's one I hadn't noticed before. The number of 'steps' in the face and the width of the web at the mounting flange fits those two models fairly close. I 'm hoping someone recognizes the back markings.
Yep, she's American Made so it won't fit no Ricer!

Thanks for the info so far.

Any Fentons I have ever owned or looked at always have the Fenton logo cast in the backside and the Hustler II or III name also on the back. I'm also doubting the wheel you have is a Fenton. Ever hear of a Foremost?

[ORIGLS6]

Foremost? Was that a J C Penney brand?

[Bill Pritchard]

Great memory there, Dennis....I also seem to recall JC Penney's selling a Foremost brand.

I thought all the M/Ts had M/T cast in the back?

[camarojoe]

I'm pretty sure they did Verne, which is why I thought it could be some type of offbeat brand like a Foremost. Here's a list of brands i feel confident it's NOT:

American
M/T
E/T
Appliance/ A/P
International
Fenton

Which still leaves a pile of brands no one even thinks of today... pick up an old late 60's issue of any major car rag and you'll see a half dozen or more wheel ads for companies you never even hear of today... back then it seems like every street corner had a factory cranking out a copy of a torq thrust wheel. If you think figuring out who made it is tough, try finding 3 more to match it.

Edzachary!!! Might end up as my 'spare'!

[Verne_Frantz]

Mount it on the wall and make it into a clock!

[Verne_Frantz]

I agree Joe. I don't remember for sure if Keystones had their name on the backs, but I think they did? (on the cast wheels anyway)
